DANNY'S SONG (Kenny Loggins)
----------------------------
* This transcription is based on Tift Merritt's cover.
* Actually in F; capo 10.
* On the recording, Tift plays a high-strung guitar (the E, A, D, and G strings
  are an octave higher than normal), in I don't know what key.  But live in concert,
  she simply puts a capo on the tenth fret and uses the chords below.

G                   G/F#         Em        Em
  People smile and tell me I'm a lucky one
          A           A                 D          D
And we've just begun,   think I'm gonna have a son
G                 G/F#          Em           Em
  He will be like you and me, free as a dove
     A             A                D         D
Conceived in love,   sun is gonna shine above

C                D                G            Em
  Even though we ain't got money,   I'm so in love with you honey
C               D               G - G/F#    Em
Everything'll bring a chain of love
C                  D          G                  F
  In the morning when I rise,   bring a tear of joy to my eyes
Em      A      D              D
Tell me every - thing's gonna be all right

G                 G/F#                Em        Em
  Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
A            A                    D              D
Drink it up,   love him and he'll bring you luck
G                     G/F#                   Em            Em
  And if you find he helps your mind, better take him home
                 A           A               D              D
Don't you try to live alone,   try to earn what lover's own

C                    D                G            Em
  And even though we ain't got money,   I'm so in love with you honey
C               D               G - G/F#    Em
Everything'll bring a chain of love
C                  D          G                  F
  In the morning when I rise,   bring a tear of joy to my eyes
Em      A      D              D              G - C   G.
Tell me every - thing's gonna be all right, ohh
